Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Environmental modulators of vascular physiology and inflammation

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental factors play a crucial role in modulating vascular inflammation, contributing significantly to the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. This review synthesizes current evidence on how various environmental exposures influence vascular function and inflammation, with a focus on pollutants such as particulate ...

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Sex differences in cerebral pulsatility and damping: A 4D flow MRI study

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cerebral pulsatility is a potential marker of cerebrovascular health, yet little is understood about sex differences in cerebral pulsatility with age, especially within different cerebral arteries. Additionally, cerebral damping can blunt cerebral pulsatility and might decline with age.

Human adaptation to high‐altitude: A contemporary comparison of the oxygen cascade in Andean, Tibetan and Ethiopian highlanders

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human populations native to high altitude have evolved distinct physiological adaptations to chronic hypoxia. This adaptation is evident in the O2 transport cascade. In this review, with brief inclusion of the related genetic adaptations, we compare the O2 cascade across three well‐characterized high‐altitude populations: Andeans (Aymara and ...

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.

The impact of healthy motion seating on lower‐limb blood flow and blood pressure response to simulated long‐haul air travel

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged sitting inherent to long‐haul air travel can acutely decrease lower‐limb blood flow and increase brachial blood pressure. Healthy motion seating (HMS), which passively alters sitting interface pressure and posture, is a promising technology which may attenuate the deleterious effects of long‐haul air travel. The aim of this study was

Prevalence of Pediatric Masked Hypertension and Risk of Subclinical Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

HYPERTENSION, 2023
Masked hypertension (MH) occurs when office blood pressure is normal, but hypertension is confirmed using out-of-office blood pressure measures. Hypertension is a risk factor for subclinical cardiovascular outcomes, including left ventricular hypertrophy,

Sleep-related factors associated with masked hypertension: the Nagahama study

Journal of Hypertension, 2023
Objectives: Masked hypertension, which is characterized by out-of-office hypertension but normal office blood pressure, is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, the factors that contribute to masked hypertension are unclear.

Prevalence of masked hypertension and its association with left ventricular hypertrophy in children and young adults with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Hypertension, 2023
Objectives: There are limited studies using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to assess blood pressure (BP) status in young patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis or after kidney transplantation. The aim of this meta-analysis is
